NEWS She was the talk of the town last week, when she collected an accolade at the Women Of Vision awards in New York. And Meghan Markle looked stunning in a gold gown for the occasion where she was accompanied by her husband Prince Harry and her mum, Doria Ragland – which royal watchers are branding her “relaunch” after a dicey few years post-Megxit and the rest of the unpleasantness that surrounded the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's split from the royal family. BIG MOVES Some eagle-eyed fans of the monarchy even believed that Meghan's choice of gown – a shimmering gold strapless number by Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz costing £1,500 – could be a secret message to sister-in-law Kate Middleton showing her who's boss, after the dress bore similarities…

They're one of the most famous families in the world and notoriously close – but the Beckham clan has been mired in upset over the past year after the marriage of Posh and Becks’ eldest son, Brooklyn. Though once super-close to her son, Victoria in particular is said to have struggled amid rumours of friction with Brooklyn's wife, actress and socialite Nicola Peltz. But now, insiders say that the doting mum has turned her attention to her second son, Romeo, with hopes that he and girlfriend Mia Regan can carry a torch for “Brand Beckham”. While Posh has reportedly struggled to bond with Nicola – who famously claimed her mother-in-law's offer to design her wedding dress came to nothing – sources close to the 49-year-old fashionista say that Victoria is…

He started his new presenting gig last week on BBC Radio 2's mid-morning show, replacing legendary host Ken Bruce – receiving largely positive reviews for his energetic presenting style. But while Vernon Kay's wife Tess Daley is excited for him, an insider reveals it's also left her feeling unnerved. A source says, “Tess is incredibly proud of Vernon but understandably there's also a part of her that's feeling anxious about how the new job will affect their marriage. “Vernon's under a huge amount of pressure to make the show a success so he's been working extremely hard, which has already created some tension. IN DENIAL “Tess has got used to Vernon being at home a lot more, but it's all about to change as he moves on to new projects,…

As she lay on the wet ground, with blood seeping from her face, the pain soared through Zania Robinson's entire body. Just a few moments earlier she'd been enjoying a walk up a beautiful waterfall on a first date with a handsome man. As the rain began pouring down, Zania and her beau Jordan Bennett had struggled to make it down the slippery waterfall, and as they picked up speed, she slid off the cliff edge – face first. Jordan tried to rescue her but slipped over the edge too. Zania was knocked out but he roused her and helped her up, before they could raise the alarm with another couple. They eventually made it to a hospital, where Zania was told her lungs were bruised and she had multiple…

Love is in the air for Am I Being Unreasonable?'s Daisy May Cooper, with the star reportedly moving her new boyfriend into her Cotswolds home. According to sources, Daisy, 36, has been secretly dating her new beau for nine months – with him already having moved into her family home. And last week, Daisy appeared to confirm her romance after packing on the PDA with her mystery man at the BAFTAs. The relationship marks a new start for the This Country star, who split from boyfriend Ryan Weymouth last year after five months together – with Daisy even tattooing the chef's name on her finger. Their whirlwind romance came just months after Daisy called it quits with landscape gardener Will Weston – with whom she shares children Pip, five, and…

After tying the knot last month, Made In Chelsea's Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo have lifted the lid on their upcoming Spanish wedding. Jamie, 34, and Sophie, 29, are planning a lavish second ceremony, set to take place later this month in Marbella. As the main event, their Spanish nuptials are geared to be a much larger affair, with a more extensive guest list than their recent civil ceremony. Last year, the couple – who began dating in 2019 – revealed they had turned down offers to film their wedding for a MIC special. Explaining the decision, Jamie said, “I have done reality for so long and it's tough on the soul.”…

Taylor Swift and Matty Healy's rumoured romance may have taken the world by storm, but a source tells Closer that Taylor's friends are worried she's heading for yet more heartbreak. Speculation over the duo's alleged romance – almost 10 years after they were first linked – hit fever pitch last month. The 1975 frontman, 34, was pictured hanging out with Taylor's parents during her recent concert, before leaving a recording studio with the 33-year-old starlet on his arm. And now, our source says Taylor's inner circle are concerned with Matty's intentions after recently resurfaced comments – in which the outspoken singer joked during a podcast appearance about watching degrading pornography – have raised major red flags. Our source says, “Taylor's friends know that Matty is a rock ‘n’ roll bad…

Sitting with her doctor, Jade Davis’ eyes filled with tears. At just 22, she was confronted with the harsh reality that her size 30 frame could send her into an early grave at any moment. It was a shocking turning point for Jade, who'd spent years binge-eating sugary treats, as she vowed to take control. But rather than using faddy diets or gastric surgery, she simply began calorie counting, and after eating just under 1,800 calories a day, in two and a half years determined Jade has reached her goal, losing a staggering 15st. Despite the fact she is having to fundraise to remove the loose skin she has been left with, Jade, 25, a healthcare worker who lives in Nottingham, says she is proud of the person she sees…

RELATIONSHIPS SCHEDULE SEX TO KEEP HAVING IT! Love scenes on screen may seem spur-of-the-moment, but planning intimate moments keeps us connected Without physical intimacy, you're basically in a loving friendship. This is why paying attention to your sex life is so integral to a healthy and happy relationship. When you first get with a new partner, you usually spend a great deal of time having sex, but as your lives together take on a new rhythm, this can often take a back seat. Scheduling intimacy may be the key to ensuring that your sex life doesn't dwindle and that you both stay physically connected. The idea of having a sex timetable may sound anything but sexy, but in truth it means that you are both paying attention to a vital…

We're constantly tracked online, so companies get to know what we like, and what we're likely to buy. Research by Whistl has found that 91 per cent of Brits make impulse buys every month. We spoke to online privacy expert Gaël Duval and financial psychologist Kim Stephenson to find out how we get tempted – and what we can do to stop ourselves overspending. DON'T LINGER ON FACEBOOK “Advertisers on Facebook can utilise a feature called ‘lookalike audiences’ which allows them to target people with ads who haven't even interacted with their service, but share a similar interest profile to those who do,” says Gaël. “The more you use Facebook, the more relevant the adverts become and the more likely you'll be to buy them.” There's a way to overcome…

She's been excitedly preparing for the birth of her second child, but Kate Ferdinand was left in shock last week after an intruder attempted to break into her and husband Rio's home, with the former footballer tackling the prowler after finding him in the garden. VULNERABLE Breaking her silence on the terrifying ordeal, Kate – who has been on a promotional trail for her new book How To Build A Family – assured presenter Lorraine Kelly that they are “all safe and well”. But despite putting on a brave face, an insider says that Kate, 31, has been left reeling from the incident and feels extremely vulnerable, particularly as she is pregnant. “Kate has been in absolute pieces and her friends fear she'll need some time and help to get…

For two and half years, Asal Shirazi was in despair – she was in crippling pain from aching joints, her stomach was in agony and she was exhausted to the point that her then six-year-old child became her carer. She made endless trips to her GP and even ended up in A&E five times after she collapsed from the pain. She was misdiagnosed with various conditions such as a stomach ulcer, and was even told it was the menopause and was given HRT. Shockingly, the medications prescribed made her worse. DEVASTATING Eventually, in desperation she paid for a private consultation, and after various tests was told she had a host of autoimmune conditions – where your immune system malfunctions and attacks healthy cells, tissues and organs. Horrifically, the main one…

Radio presenter Zoe Ball has split from her boyfriend of five years, Michael Reed, with the male model reportedly having moved out of their Sussex home after the relationship had run its course. The couple are believed to have been on the rocks for a while – with fans noting how they had spent less and less time together in recent months and even went on separate holidays. And now insiders say the broadcaster has decided to put herself on a “man ban” and focus on herself. A source says, “Zoe just needs some time with her friends right now. She's really been through it relationship-wise and is in no rush to jump into a new one. She's had a lot of heartbreak, and she needs time to heal.” It's…

She became the nation's sweetheart after winning last year's I'm A Celebrity! and England football star Jill Scott reveals a reunion is on the cards as her campmates are invited to her upcoming wedding to fiancée Shelly Unitt. The 36-year-old footballer, who starred on the hit show alongside the likes of Boy George, Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall, tells Closer, “Of course I'll be inviting them! I keep in touch with a lot of them. I was at the Man City verses Arsenal game with Owen [campmate and Hollyoaks star Owen Warner] just recently. “We go to the football a lot together, and I've seen Chris Moyles a few times and Charlene [White]. I've made some really good friends from the jungle and I'm very grateful.” WHIRLWIND Lioness Jill popped…

Amid rumours of tension behind the scenes, Britney Spears and husband Sam Asghari have put on a united front – with the couple sharing clips of them smooching on the Toxic singer's social media. Alongside the passionate display, Britney, 41 – who tied the knot with the 29-year-old model last summer – gushed, “I feel so blessed to be with such an incredible husband who inspires me every day.” The couple have hit headlines in recent months after fans speculated that their romance was on the rocks – with sources previously alleging they were undergoing marriage counselling to overcome hurdles in their high-profile relationship.…

Sam Faiers and partner Paul Knightley celebrated the first birthday of their youngest son Edward last week and, in a heartfelt Instagram post, doting mum Sam wrote, “The first year is so special, I wish it didn't go as fast.” Also mum to Paul, seven, and five-year-old Rosie, Sam has embraced life as a motherof-three, but sources tell Closer that she's feeling broody again. And she's not the only one, as her sister Billie has also set her heart on adding to her family, despite her youngest being only five months old. And our insider reveals that the sisters – who are notoriously close – have been discussing the merits of falling pregnant together, saying, “With Edward turning one and Paul and Rosie getting older, Sam is feeling broody.

These figures seem very high – nearly half of women aged 25 to 34 have undiagnosed high blood pressure. I'm not sure how many people took their own readings in this study (which is notoriously inaccurate), but a proportion of them had a nurse take their readings three times, and they used an average of those, which is important because you never officially diagnose high blood pressure on one reading – you need to do several readings to get an idea of the overall picture. EASE UP ON SALT Having said those figures surprise me, given the fact that most of us now eat a lot of highly processed food, which is high in salt, and we aren't as active as we should be, there will be more young people…

When it comes to relationships, I'm a traditionalist. I like to meet people in real life, date one person at a time with a view to it becoming a long-term relationship and, if needs be, a clear break-up with a chat in person. It's now become socially acceptable to date lots of people at once, it's even encouraged on apps and expected by my peers. But when I like someone, I don't want to have five people on the go, and endless messages to send and meet-ups to arrange. I've met someone I really like – as yet we're not official or exclusive, we're just taking it super-slowly, enjoying getting to know each other, and I'm happy like this for now. But some of my well-meaning friends have encouraged me…

Dolly-Rose Campbell, who's played Gemma Winter on the soap since 2014, chats to Closer about the most colourful wedding the Street has ever seen! “I was blown away by the dress, it's an absolute work of art!” says the 36-year-old. “It was comfortable – compared to many of Gemma's other outfits!” Made by Manchester drag queen, designer Liquorice Black, with a 7m long train (!), Dolly adds, “I suggested the fairy lights – they are just a little bit Gemma.

This is such a positive show! I'm very excited, it's a really lovely series and there's something for everyone. It's a feel-good show about people moving to the countryside, being a bit brave and doing things that are outside their comfort zone. We were keen to include different ages and not just have people who are 55+ or retired – to show it is possible for everyone. What to expect? When we first talked about doing this series, we wanted to represent all the different things you can do when you move to the country. But we haven't because our list was huge, like 15 pages! I thought it would be brilliant to feature someone who grows fruit and makes jam for a living, but maybe we'll do that next…

No probs, Charl. Just write something really outrageous or likely to cause offence. Then, when people complain, start swearing at them. Happy to help! Judging by the stubbornness, foul smells and copious amounts of dribble we get from our other half, they're pretty much the same, Ry.

NEWS They were the dream team who had ITV at their feet. But the once solid partnership between Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield appears to be crumbling. The duo – who have been presenting This Morning together since 2009 – have been plagued by rumours that their friendship is in jeopardy since Phil recently put out a solo statement, saying “the last few weeks haven't been easy for either of us”. He took time away from the show in March and April while his brother Timothy, 54, was on trial and later jailed for 12 years for child sex offences – something sources say he'd kept Holly in the dark about until the week before the court case began. And although Holly and Phil – who were once so close…

Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Kristina Rihanoff, 45, lives with her ex-rugby player partner Ben Cohen, 44, and their six-year-old daughter, Mila. She's a patron of Asal's charity. She says, “I met Asal years ago at an awards ceremony and she soon became my best friend, so I was thrilled when she asked me to become a patron of her charity. “She's the most incredible woman and she inspires me every single day. I'm so lucky to be at peak fitness and not have any health issues. “I'm a qualified yoga teacher as well as a dancer and give lessons to lots of people who suffer with autoimmune diseases such as arthritis. I love the fact that I can help them. Exercising, particularly yoga with its emphasis on physical and…

They split in July last year after 11 years of marriage. But far from wallowing in self-pity following the separation from her husband, Paddy, Christine McGuinness is determined to live her best life with her friends. The model, 35 – who first started dating TV presenter Paddy in 2007 – recently enjoyed a spa break with her “soul sister”, singer-songwriter and footballer Chelcee Grimes. “Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments,” Christine told her 710k Instagram followers. EXCITED And pals say the Real Housewives Of Cheshire star is vowing to spend even more time with her friends and three children – twins Penelope and Leo, nine, and seven-year-old Felicity – who she shares with Paddy, 49. “Christine is really treasuring her friendship with Chelcee right now. She's finally…

Love dramas Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet have called off their wedding, after sharing with fans that they had suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage. The TOWIE stars – who are already parents to two-year-old son Brody – revealed the news that they had postponed their big day following their loss back in April. Georgia, 31, shared, “Our 12-week scan, to be told our baby had not survived and I needed an op… We don't really have the words to say right now except we are lucky to have amazing friends and family around us and most importantly we are blessed to have our beautiful Brody.” Tommy, 30, later added that their experience would be documented on their ITVX show, Baby Steps. He wrote, “[We] found out the bad news while filming.…

‘WORK HARD AND CHASE YOUR DREAMS’ Growing up in Leeds in the ‘80s, it wasn't until the former Spice Girl – full name Melanie Brown – went to school that she experienced being treated differently. Opening up about racism, Mel reflected, “All of a sudden I was called these names I didn't understand.” But while her school life proved hard, the star had the support of her parents to chase her dreams. In 2016, she shared, “I work hard. That's from my upbringing.” ‘EVERYBODY NEEDS TIME TO HEAL’ Speaking at a domestic abuse campaign, Mel told the British parliament, “I'm a survivor, not a victim.” The star has gone on to work with a number of charities helping women experiencing domestic abuse. But behind the scenes, Mel has been open…

She's already an amazing mum to her daughter Polly, six, and four-year-old son Ritchie. And now Amy Childs has added to her brood, after welcoming twins Billy River and Amelia Mae last month. But while she is, of course, overjoyed with her new arrivals – who she shares with fiancé Billy Delbosq – the reality TV personality, 32, tells Closer that the “traumatic” births were far from plain sailing. Originally planning to have a natural birth, Amy reveals she was rushed in for an emergency C-Section at 37 weeks after suffering from a prolapsed umbilical cord. “I got induced on the Wednesday and by Thursday I was in labour – everything was going to plan,” explains Amy. “But then I was in labour for nearly two days, and eventually they…
